STEVENSON CONFIDENT.
The N®xt Vic® President Calls on Mr,
Cleveland—Two Hoars' Consultation.
Nkw York, October 26.— General Adiai
Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for
Vice President, arrived in this city last
night This morning, in company with Gen.
i Ewing, he drove to the residence of Mr.
Cleveland, West Fifty-first street. Gen.
j Stevenson spent nearly two hours in con
sultation with the ex-President. Gen.
Stevenson's letter of acceptance will be
! made public this week, probably to-mor
row. Gen. Stevenson is in splendid health
I and spirits, and no is confident of the re
| suit in November.
DEMOCRATS BE ON Ul'ARD,
Republican Tough* aud Thugs Imported
to Assist In Debauching th® Ballot.
Spe Ml leu gram to ttie Register.
Charleston, W. Va., October 26.—Dem
ocrats be on your guard.
Information has been received that the
Republicans expect to surround the polls
in certain sections of West Virginia with
toughs aud tbugs, brought from other
States, for the purpose of intimidating
Democratic voters, and for the further
purpose of taking charge of the negro
voters colonized here from other States in
order to repeat tin. m at the several pre
cincts in each district.
The following is a quotation from a let
ter received in this city to-day from a gen
tleman of prominence:
Washington, D. C., October25, 1892.
“Some ten or twelve well known Repub
lican toughs passed through here this
morning on their way to Wheeling, Graf
ton and other points in your State, to take
charge of the men who are expected to do
the repeating on election day. This con- i
firms the statement made to me in Balti
more a few days ago* by a gentleman woo
was a Republican, but who is now work
ing for Cleveland.'*
The gentleman who writes this letter is
well known, and there is no question but
that these toughs aad thugs have been sent
into this State for the purpose named.
Democrats should locate and spot them
in every section of the State and see that
they are thwarted in their nefarious at
tempt to corrupt our ballot.
Surely the Republicans are resorting to
desperate measures in West Virginia,
when they have to colonize the State with
negroes aud import toughs aud thugs from
other States to intimidate our Democrat
voters and carry the election by repeating
this illegal and colonization vote.
Democrats, be on your guard and see
that this fraud is prevented. We want no
thugs or toughs to control our elections.
Every Democratic paper should give notice
of this scheme to steal the State.
STEVENSON’S RECEPTION
At Charleston Will be a Kon»er--K»n»wha

Charleston’, W. Va., October 26.—The
Stevenson meeting at this place on Satur
day next promises to be the largest in the
history of campaign meetings in Kanawha
county. The Democrats estimate that be
tween eight and ten thousand strangers
will be in the city at least. One thousand
will come from Huntington, and many are
coming from all points noth up and down
the river. Hon. Johu Randolph Tucker
will speak with Gen. Stevenson.
It is true as has heretofore been stated,
that the Democrats have the Republicans
on the run in this couuty. The belief now
is that the Democrats will come very close
to carrying the county. The signs are all
encouraging aud Kanawha never was so
worked up over politics as now. Every
Democrat is in line but that much can not
be said for the Republicans.
Col. J. L Vance, ofOhio, will speak next
Tuesday at Wheeling with General Stev
enson. Col. Vance is a speaker of great
reputation in Ohio and will highly enter
taiu Wheeling people.

Special Tdtjram to tto Rtgiror.
Charleston, W. Va., October 26.-Hon.
\ 3 Scott, member of the Republican
National Committee, and Col. G. W. At

seems that Scott was sent as an emissary
from Elkins direct who was at Wheeling
last week. His duties will, it is said,
be to keep Danna Huliug and “Little
John Slack in line. These gentlemen were
the special guests of Elkins when he was
here but Steve could not hx every thing up,
so Scott was sent to complete the job. The
Dauna-Hulicg crowd have been sulking
ever since the completion of the distribu
tion or federal patronage, which was en
tirely unsatisfactory to them and their
frieuds; hence Elkins and Scott’s mission.

ARRANGEMENTS.
For Mrs. Harrison’s Funeral Are About Completed.
The Government Departments Will Likely be
Open as Usual—The Representatives of For
eign Governmants Take Official Notice of the
Bereavement—The Arrangements at Indian
apolis.
Washington, D. C., October 26.—A spe
cial meeting of the Cabinet was held at
tho Department of Justice this afternoon
for a consideration of the question of tak
I ing some official notice of tne death of the
1 President’s wife. There were present
Secretaries Elktu3, Rusk,Noble and Tracy,
Attorney General Miller, Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaner, Assistant Secretary
Wharton, of tho State Department, and
Assistant Secretary Spaulding, of the
Treasurv Department.
The advisaoility of closing the executive
departments on the day of the funeral was
the principal topic under discussion, but in
view of the President’s disinclination to
issue an executive order to that effect it
was decided to postpone action until to
morrow.
While the meeting was in progress the
Attorney General went over to the Whito
House to consult with the President.
There is a precedent for closing the de
partments on account of a similar afliiction
to the chief magistrate, it having been
done on the occasion of the funeral of Mrs.
Tyler, in 1S43.
President Harrison doubts the wisdom
of such action, however, and the members
of his Cabinet are considerably perplexed
as to their individual course in the matter.
The remains of Mrs. Harrison were this
afternoon placed in the casket and were re
moved to the library. To-morrow morning
the casket will be taken down stairs to the
East room, where the funeral services will
bo held. There were very few callers at
tbe Whito House to-night and tne doors
were closed early, the President and his
household seeking the seclusion and retire
ment of their private apartments.
The paity which will go to Iudianapolis
on the funeral train to morrow will be com
posed of the following persons: President
Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Russell B. Harri
son, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McKee, Dr. Scott,
Mrs. Dimmick, Lieutenant anu Mrs. mar
ker, Mr. Finley, of Baltimore, eousin of
the President, Vice President Morton, Sec
retary of State and Mrs. Foster, Mrs. S. B.
Elkins, Atterney General aud Mrs. Miller,
Postmaster Geueral Wanamaker, Mrs.
Wilmerding, Secretary Noble, Secrotary
and Mrs. Rusk, Private Secretary Hal
ford, Col. O. H. Ernst, Mrs. R. C. Parker,
Mr. aud Mrs. George W. Boyd, of Phila
delphia, and Miss Sanger.
Returning the train will leave Indian
apolis Friday afternoon at five o’clock and
reach Washington at six o’clock p. m. Sat
urday. Nearly all tho representatives in
Washington of foreign powers have sent to
the Department of State letters expressing
regrets at Mrs. Harrison’s death and sym
pathy with the President. Suitable re
sponses have been made to these letters.
AT INDIANAPOLIS.

vices 10 be Held There—Tho Tallbearors
Selected*
Indianapolis, Inp., October 26.—The ar
rangements at this point for the funeral of
Mrs. Harrison are practically completed.
The plot in which Mrs. Harrison's re
mains will be interred was selected this

ors conspicuously displayed. The direc
tion of the funeral upon me arrival in this
city will be in charge of Under taker Chas.

As indicating the number of friends who
will accompany the funeral train, Secre
tary Halford telegraphed this morning for
ten carriges for their accommodation. A
request was also telegraphed for rooms for
the President’s cabinet, that they may
secure much needed rest before undertak
ing the return trip.

party and members of General Harrison’s
Cabinet, but beyond these admission will
be granted to those who come first.
EFFECTS OF THE ILLNESS
Of Mrs. Harrison Upon Her Appearance.
Aery Mach Wasted.
Washington, D. C., Oetooer 26.—A cold
wind set in from the north last night strip
ping the tine old trees in the grounds sur
rounding the executive mansion of much of
their foliage, aud this morning the aspect
of nature is bare and dreary.
There has been no official recognition by
the executive branch of the government of
Mrs Harrison’s death, and there will be
none except display at half-mast of flags ou
the government buildings.
T&e department opens to-morrow—the
dav of the funeral-the same as otherdavs
and bv wishes of the family the business
of government will run as though the coun
try nad not lost the wife of its most distin
guished executive.
Mrs Harrison shows in ner face the
effects of her long, wasting illness of eight
months, that reduced her large matronly
figure to a frail form. But her face in
death has the same kindly expression that
it had in life.
The President is mere com nosed to-day
than he was yesterday. He is reasonably
calm though deeply grief stricken.

FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE
Tarn Out to Hear and Cheer General
Stevenson In Brooklyn.
Brooklyn, N. Y., October 26.-The Dem
ocracy of Brooklyn turned out in force to
night'and held a great mass meeting in the
Academy of Music, where Gen. A. cj.
Stevenson, the Vice Presidential candi
date and Congressman Isadore Ilayner, or
Maryland, spoke on the issues of the cam
DciiCQ
Over 4,000 persons were in the hall. Gen.
Stevenson received an ovation as he step
ped forward to deliver his speech, the
great audience rising to its feet, waving
handkerchiefs and wildly cheering.
Mr. Stevenson began by quoting an
eulogium of Grover Clevelnnd uttered by
“the great Republican orator of your State
in introducing to a New York audience a
distinguished private citizen, and contin
ued with a review of tho confessedly hon
est administration of Cleveland, which has
gone into history as able and economical.
The speaker asserted that the treasury
had alwavs found its most faithful guar
dians in ‘the Democratic party. Taking
up the financial plank of the Chicago con
vention ho declared tnat it voiced his sen
timents, and passing to the tariff denounced
the Republican system of protection to cer
tain industries by which heavy tariff bur
dens are laid upon the great mass of the
people for the benefit of favored indi
viduals who are fortunate enough to re
ceive its blessings.
“Tho advocates of this unequalled and
unjust system of taxation,” said he, “have
deluded the people with various excuses
for its existence. In the first place, it was
not a tax, but a wonderful discovery in po
litical economy by which foreign govern
ments were either forced or deceived into
paying our taxes for us. This pretext no
longer deceives a tax burdened people.
The speaker then proceeded to give his
views on tho force bill and said that the
bill in every line and paragraph breathed
distrust of' the people. The poople, the
source of all political power under our con
stitution, liavo no voice in the selection of
those who under the monstrous provisions
of this bill can sport, at will with their
dearest rights.
Throughout his remarks Gen. Stevenson
was repeatedly applauded, and every men
tion of Cleveland’s name was greeted with
deafening cheers.
A GREAT DEMONSRATION.
Five Thousand People Turn Out to Hear

THE WHOLE FAMILY PERISH.
Fearful Results of a Residence Fire In
Cleveland Early Yesterday Morning.
Cleveland, O., October 26.—A fire
most appalling in result occurred about
1:30 o’clock this morning in a two story
frame building at the corner of Central
avenue and Harriet street, near the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad cross
ing. An entire family, consisting of a
father, mother and two little boys, per
ished.
The building Is a residence and store
rooms combined. In half of the lower
portion of the building was a saloon
owned by James Shannon and John Mc
Ginty. Shannon and his family lived
in the upper section of the building.
They wore the ones thatiperished. The
cause of the fire could'not be ascer
tained but it Is believed to have origi
nated in the saloon. Tho family it is
said used the large front room as a sleep
ing apartment. They were all probably
overcome by tho smoko before the situ
ation was realized.
The front half of the building was
completely destroyed and the four
bodies were buried In tho burned tim
bers. Shannon was 38 years old and bis
wife was 32. The eldest boy, James,
Jr., was 6 years old and the youngest,
John, 4 years old. Shannon’s sister-in
law, Miss Sarah McGluty, lived with
them but attended a dance last night
and had not returned when the fire oc
curred. Her life was thus probably
Chunnnn’c hncinpua nflrfnnr
McGinty, was his brother-in-law. He j
was at the scene of the fire and almost
frantic with grief.
The search for the bodies was begun
by the firemen as soon as the debris '
could be sufficiently cooled. The four- :
year-old boy was first recovered. It was i
unrecognizable, but It was believed to
be that of the eldest. It had the ap
pearance of being roastod. The head j
resembled a large black ball. The 1
tlesn had not dropped from the bODes.
Tho other bodies were dug from the
debris and were in about the same con
dition. Another family lived In the
rear of the building down stairs. C. II.
Babcock and his wife. Babcock was
seen by a reporter. He said he and his
wile were awakened by the smell of
smoke and escaped from the house.
The loss by the fire ou the building and
contents is placed at S3,000; tho insur
ance is about the same.

THE NATIONAL BATTLE.
Closing Cp th® Lines for th® Final As
saults—Indiana Conceded to Cleve
land—Only a Remote Chance for Harri
son In Mew York.
New Yoke, October 26.—But twelve
days remain of the great national cam
paign of 1892, and both sides have now
well determined how they shall make
their final assaults. It is an open secret
here in Republican circles, or rather
hardly a secret at all, that the Republi
can managers have given up Indiana as
utterly hopeless. From the day that
Gresham made his announcement
against Harrison the State has been
anchored in the Cleveland column, and
the President’s own State will
be spared the shame of a
rejection of the debauchery
of 1888 simply because money cannot
carry It. In this State the Republicans
are making a most desperate and some
what hopeful battle. They are not con
fident of success, but they have a re
mote chance of winning the Electoral
vote. Believing that success here
would assure Harrison’s re-election,
exhaustive efforts will be made from
now until election day to carry New
York, but even while thus giving the
utmost efforts and resources to carry
the Empire State, the Harrison leaders
feel that the odds are largely against
them, and that they must look outsldo
of both New York aud Indiana to as
sure success.
They have figured closely on tho
electoral vote, and assuming that Harri
son will carry all tho States he carried In
1883, with the exception of New York,
Indiana and Nevada, they could, with
the aid of the six new States, and by
carrying nine of the Electors In Michi
gan and the Electoral votes of Connec
ticut. Delaware and West Virginia, give
Harrison a bare majority of the Elec
toral College. This Is skating on fear
fully thin Ice, but they doa’t do It from
choice. It is the last chance of saving
Republican power. Grasping at these
remote possibilities as a drowning man
would crasp at a straw, there will be the
_* M .1.. - ( AftAria At HnhanphArv
U1UCK UU»»HUV.» llJf^ vuw. —--*
in Connecticut, Delaware and West Vir
ginia during the next two week9. All
the money that can be used to debauch
voters will be expended in Connecticut,
Delaware and West Virginia from now
until eloction day. It is possible that
they may carry one or even two of
them, but it is hardly within the range
of possibility that they can carry all of
them. They carefully prospected New
Jersey, and at one time were hopeful of
success there, but they have given up
New Jersey on tho electoral ticket, as
the Republican leaders themselves say
that the State cannot be taken from
Cleveland.
Such is the situation as it appears to
day in this centre of political direction.
The Democrats understand the situa
tion precisely as tho Republicans do,
and they are fully prepared for tho des
perate assaults that are to be made upon
Connecticut, Delaware and We9t Vir
ginia; but, while the Republicans are
assaulting these States, the Democratic
leaders understand that the Republi
cans are much more likely to lose
some of the Harrison States of 1888
outside of Nevada, which seems to
be conceded to Weaver, than the
Republicans are to carry Connecticut,
Delaware and West Virginia. Rhode
Island and New Hampshire are cer
tainly more debatable for the Republi
cans tnan Connecticut and Delaware
for the Democrats, and even Massachu
setts is not entirely Ironclad for Repub
lican Electors. In addition to the New
England States, all of the States west
of tho Mississippi to the Rocky Moun
tains, aud also the Northwestern States,
are disputed with more or loss energy
by the Democrats, and certainly with
reasonable expectation of partial suc
cess in some of them. In Wisconsin I
would estimate the chances of the
Democrats as one out of three for suc
cess, and in Iowa one chance out of
five, while in Now York State the Re
publicans have not one chance In twenty.
Colorado is certainly doubtful, with
probabilities in favor of Harrison.
Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wyoming
and South Dakota alf have fusion move
ments against Harrison, and it will be
remarkable if some of them do not suc
ceed.
If David Martin had remained In Phil
adelphia and not attempted to manage
affairs in this city, the Republicans
would have been in very much better
condition here to-day. He came herald
ed an emert in elect on crookedness.
and his coming has been resented as an
insult to the city. While he is a master
in the management of the Nineteenth
ward of Philadelphia, and like centres
of political crookedness in that city,
when he is called upon to handle
a great city like Now York against
Tammany Hall, the most perfect
political machine the world has
ever known, It is like sending a toddling
child to wrestle with a giant. While the
Democratic papers have made Martin
most odious in the estimation of honest
citizens, the practical politicians of this
city have met Martin in his own way,
and they have played him In the most
bewildering fashion, They have set up
innumerable jobs upon him, arranged
to get vast sums of money out of the
corrupt fund that he Is disbursing, and
they could to-day arrest him and put
him in prison In scores of cases where
they have dusted his eyes and
played him for a political tenderfoot.
They believe that they can do better
however, than by sending him to
prison.and they will play him from this
until election day. Even with all the
shrewdness of John I. Davenport to aid
him Martin has been gobbled up over
and over again in this contest, aud Is
to-day at the mercy of hundreds of
Tammany experts who have lured him
Into almost every phase of political
crookedness. Martin In New York with
out Quay to throw bis protecting arms
around him is a pitiable novice in poli
tics, as he and his party friends will
learn sometime within the next two
weeks. I am quite sure that be has
never done more to help his own party
in Philadelphia than be has done this
year to help Tammany in New York
City. __

FRENCH CANADIAN'S
Offer Insults to Consul Smith and His
Family.
Three Rivers, Que., October 26.—
While the police guard has been with
drawn from the U. S. Consulate the
family of Consul Smith are Insulted In
various ways when they appear on the
streets. Yesterday his two daughters
were insulted by having potato skins
and other rubbish fluug out upon them
from lanes and alleys by young French
Canadians of both sexes. Horace
Greely Smith, the Vice Consul’s son,
was also accosted in the postoflice lobby
by a number of Frenchmen ari<^
suited and roughly treated, personal
violence being offered him. Consul
Smith is confined to his bed, threatened
with an attack of i»neumonia, which
has developed from the severe cold he
caught the night his windows were
broken by some irate Frenchmen be
cause of the Colonel’s sanitary report
of the city. The demand for the Col
onel’s recall Is being pressed.
GREAT DISORDER.
Homestead Strikers Assault Non-Union Men with
Stones and Clubs—Several Daylight Assaults
Yesterday—Possibility That Martial Law May
Be Invoked—Several Non-Unionists Severely
Hurt.
PiTTsnrno, October 26.—A dispatch from
Homestead to-night says:
Lawlessness continues on the increase.
Several non-unionists were assaulted iu
daylight, and crowds which defied the
force of deputy sheriff gathered iu a short
time and carried matters with a high
hand. It would appear as though spies
watch the movements of the deputy sher
iffs and the moment thoy are away make
sudden onslaughts on residences of non
unionists. and upon the workmen.
It has about been decided to increase the
force of night deputies to 50 if good men
can be found and if not the borough may
b« placed under martini law. The situa
tion is certainly very grave according to
the belief of the Sherm auu ms ucpuuw.
The assaults uro becoming bolder and more
dangerous.
For a week not a day has passed without
bloodshed. James Mulveick, a mill worker,
was set upon by several hundred persons
on Fourth avenue, near Helsel btroet. Tho
frightened man sought refuge in a grocery
store, and while iu there women in the
crowd gathered rocks and piled them ou the
street in front of the store. When suffi
cient ammunition had oeen secured a for
mal demand was made on the grocer that
ho deliver up Mulveick or his store would
1)0 stoned
The grocer was frightened and ordered
the non-unionist out. As he left he was
struck bv stones and knocked down; ho
jumped to bis feet, seized a small roan as u
shield, and then fought his wav through
the mob. The small striker squirmed and
kicked, but Mulveick held him firmly with
ouo hand while he strusk with the other.
Borouah officers arrived on tho scene and
arrested a man named Brown As thov
were seen approaching tho crowd dispersed,
most of tho men rushing for cover at a
great rate.
A man named Hamilton who works in
the mill, rented one of tho houses on First
avenue which the Carnegie Steel Company
purchased. A large crowd assembled and
drove buck tho drivers on tho furniture
vans. A negro, who was hauling a load of
coal, was cut on tho head with stones, and
his horse frightened into runuing away.
Tho moving has been postponed until
morning.
When the excitement was highest Stew
art, a witness for tho prosecution in the
riot cases, came along accompanied by Re
porter Rumley. They were immediately
assailed by a shower of stone* and struck.
Stewart drew a revolver and turned on the
crowd. The men lied und ho walked after
them. Several women blocked nis way.
He hurled a defiance at the men and walk
ed off.
A son of Dr. Foster was assaulted and
beaten by three men on Eighth avenue. He
recognized them and has made informa
tion against them. There were two other
troubles reported, but no serious damago
resulted. The business people here anil
the conservative element of the locked out
men deplore the disorder, while at the
same time they say that tho officials gross
ly exaggerated tho affairs.
The mill Is operating as usual though the
several thousand workmen there are
alarmed over the disorders und many say
they will leave sooner than take chances of
being killed. They look upon the assaults
as tho last resort of beaten men.
REIGN Of [ERROR.
I Homestead People Contemplate Asking
the Governor to Ketorn the Troops.
Homestead, Pa., October 26.—The
reign of terror which has been Inaugur
ated by the striker* at this place still
continues and It Is hard to tell what the
final result will be. There Isa strong
! feeling among the law abiding citizens
of petitioning the Governor to have the
troops returned and the town put under
martial law. They consider this the
quickest and most effective way of es
I tabiishlng a reign of peace where vio
lence Is now supreme.
Charles Goeddeil, who was assaulted
at 2 o’clock Tuesday morning on his
i way home from the steel works, was
I unable to return to work at 6 o’clock
this morning. Ho recognized two of
j his assailants and prosecution may fol
I low.
A man named Schemmel was return
ing from his boarding bouse to the mill
last evening, and was assaulted at the
I corner of Fourth avenue and Dickson
street by slz men, who beat him with
I clubs and stones. Cries of “kill him,
j gill him," were heard by a member of
I the coal and iron police, who was on his
way borne, and he hastened to the fei*
[ low’s assistance. He drew his revolver
j o/ the attacking party and tney slunk
! away. Schemmel was so badly used up
j that he had to be helped to hi* boardluji
| bouse on Third avenue. Ills lnjurfw
are both painful and severe and he win
| be unable to work for several days.
Three non-union men, Frank Cum
j mings, Al. Snyder and M. McGill were
j attacked near their boarding bouse on
Third avenue about 6 o’clock last even
ing and all three men were more or less
Injured, Cummins, however, the worst,
j In order to escape they left tbelr bats
and buckets behind t»n!y too glad to es
caps with their lives.
George Ecbard, who was shot and se
verely wounded a few days ago by John
Ripley at the latter’s borne at Riley’s
Station, on the Wheeling division of tbe
B. A O., Is slowly recovering. The
shots have not all yet been removed.
Riley was arrested and released on $500

A FELICITOUS SHORT SPEECH.
Mr. Cleveland Deeply Moved by
the Kindly Maimer in Which
His Old Neighbors at Buffalo
Remembered Him—Two Hun
dred Persons at the Reception
Which was Held, at the Imperial
Hotel.
Nhw York, October IB.—The reception
at the Imperial Hotel to-fmght given to ex
President Cleveland byjthe Buffaloaians
Cleveland Cluo wu attended by about "JUO
persons, consisting of members of the
eluo and a few invited guefta.
Mr. Cleveland's arrival was the occasion
of great applause. After a brief prelim
inary speech calling the meeting to order,
the guest of the evening was introduced as
one whose name created enthusiasm when
mentioned even in a Republican meeting.
, Mr. Cleveland sjwke as follows:
1 hope it is uot necessary for me to tell
| you how much I enjoy being with you to
night, and how exceedingly gratifying la
every retlcction suggested b> tbia occasion.
It i best und most pleasant feature is, of
course, tho presenco here of Hanv old
friends, which recalls to my mhidfbt’idrata
and association which have bevand will
always continue to bo the things most
carefully kept by memory for my delight.
While my heart is full of gratiludo to the
friends I see about me. I cannot forbear
the suggestion of my belief that your or
ganization not only demonstrates your per
sonal friendship for un old towusman, but
it also indieatef that you are fully alive to
your duty as good citizens. You know bow
devoted ! am to the principles of the Dem
ocratic party, aud your knowledge of me
will. 1 am sure, acquit me of Insincerity
when 1 express the opinion that the result
VMW . I..
more to our country and our ygople than
any in which you or I have ever oeen en
gaged.
Uu ono side tho claim is defiantly and ar
rogantly announced that Uio functions of
our government may bo usedsllrectlyfor
the benefit of certain spcdWi inlet cats,
with at a very remote regard to the
welfareof the masses of tho people. In op
position to this an appeal is made to our fel
low citizens to hold fast to tho doctrino
that our government should at all times bo
administered directly from them and
that they should not tw obliged to receive
as their share of blessings of the free gov
ernment they maintain, the small portiou
which may 'filter through to thorn in the
process of making special beneficiaries
rich. In oitiflg words, the DotnocraUO
party is insisting upon the honest applica
tion of the rule thara government by the
people should bo<a government for tho
people.
It is as needless as it Is foreign to my
purpose to discuss iu doUjL^^fara those so
thoughtful and iniightoi i
friends, tin ili:fcr<\j0|®P*
ical principles and purposes presented to
our people for their approval. 1 only de
siro to assure you that the gratification
which your personal attachment affords la
greatly enhanced by the consciousness that
it is the attachment of those who aro
thoughtful and patriotic, and by the con
viction that the support you give in an or
ganized way to your old townsman cannot
create in your minds the least suspicion
that sucii support is in aid of principles at
all inconsistent with your highest duty aa
American citizens.
Ii only remains for mo to say that what
ever may be the result of the pondina cam
paign I shall always remember aa iUimost
pleasing incident this occasion, and the
evideoce it furnishes of the consideration
and devotion of the Buffalo friends 1 see
here about me.
